We have teamed up with C.F. Sauer, our neighbors with the cool electric bulb billboard across the street, for a Richmond Cooks Showdown and Tour on Friday, Oct. 12, at 4:45 p.m.

After the cook-off and samples from four Richmond home cooks at E.A. Holsten’s, guests will tour the 1911 C.F. Sauer extract and spice factory, which hasn’t been open to the public since 2009. Our own Willy Wonka-esque experience!
